Chapter 5-
"Hey." Fi smiled, walking over to where Carey and Jack stood.
"Hey Fi, you look great." Carey said, as he looked at her. This was most certainly not the little girl who's hair he stuck gum in when he was nine. Her outfit made her look like a vision from a dream. She showed off just the right amount of skin, and her hair was down, with the top part up in a twist, with tendrals from it hanging in her face. She was wearing a light blue eyeliner, and sheer eyeshadow, with lip gloss.
"Thanks, so do you." She admired his button down shirt that he wore over a white t-shirt, and his slightly baggy jeans.
"Thanks, so uh, are you ready to, uh, go?" He asked, forgetting that Jack was in the room.
"Yeah." She replied, taking Carey's hand and walking out of the house, leaving Jack standing in the living room.
"What just happened here?" He asked himself, watching his sister and best friend leave.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Fi laughed as Carey opened the door for her. "What's so funny?" He asked.
"Did you see the look on Jack's face?" She said, laughing even harder.
He started to laugh too. He laughter was contagious. "Yeah, it was priceless." He shut her door and walked over to get in the car. He started the car and they drove away from the house.
"So, what band is playing tonight?" Fi asked, as Carey was turning the radio stations.
"Uh, I think it's a band called Rose Dust or something. I heard that they are pretty cool. The nightclub, Exentrik, opened a few months ago, while you were away. I have only been there once, and that was with Jack and Clu." He said, finally settling on a soft rock station.
"Oh. So, are you excited about the new tour in a few weeks?" She asked.
"Oh yeah! I'm going to buy a new guitar and everything. Your mom and I wrote some cool news songs for the tour. I'll play them for you sometime if you want me to." He offered.
"Definatly." She smiled. He pulled the car into a crowded parking lot outside the club.
"Here we are." He said, getting out of the car to open her door for her.
"Aww, thanks, you're such the gentleman." She teased.
"I try." He said with a wink.
When they went inside the club they found that the band had already started.
"Wanna dance?" He asked, leading her out to the dance floor.
Fi laughed softly as his arms wrapped around her as a slow song started playing. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and laid her head on his shoulder. "You're a good dancer." She commented.
"You're not so bad yourself." He replied with a grin. He moved one hand a little lower, so it was touching her tatoo. She moved her body closer to his, enjoying the moment. Just as Carey was tilting his head forward, about to kiss her, the song stopped, and a new, faster song, started.
"Well, there went *that* moment." Fi sarcastically muttered, as she and Carey walked away from the dance floor and found a table in the corner of the room, where it was semi quiet, and they could see the band.
"There will be more moments. Believe me, there will be more." Carey grinned, as he grabbed her hand and held it in his.
"Well, I think I like the sound of that." Now it was Fi's turn to grin. "No, I definatly like the sound of that."
"Well that's good to hear." He looked into her eyes, and he didn't see the same naive 15 year old that had left Hope Springs two years ago. When he was looking into her eyes, he saw a wisdom, a cautiousness, almost a sadness buried underneath everything. What had happened to make her feel that way?
Fi saw that he was reading her eyes and cast her eyes downward, so he couldn't see them. She looked up when she heard him say, "Why?"
"Why what?" She asked, looking confused.
"Why do you look so- I don't know- it's your eyes. They are- you look- well, kinda cautious. You look like you know something. I don't know, maybe I'm way off on this assumption, but, you eyes, they just-" Fi cut him off.
Damn, the eyes, they always gave her away. Even aunt Melinda had noticed her eyes. "Um, I think I know what you're talking about. And I'll tell you about it, I promise, but not tonight, let's just have FUN tonight, ok?"
Carey smiled and nodded, and she stood up and grabbed his hands, pulling him out to the dance floor to dance a fast song.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Jack was pacing around the living room.
"Where is she? WHERE! Where?" He asked his mother, plopping down on the sofa beside her.
Molly smiled. Jack was worried over nothing. She was sure of it. After all, Carey and Fi were just friends, right? And it was only nine thirty, of course Fiona wouldn't be back yet. But still, she had seen the looks between Carey and Fiona last night at the restuaraunt, and she had seen them this morning in the kitchen.
"Jack, relax. Please. Come on. I'll get the cocoa, and you can grab the stuff to make s'mores, ok? We can have some mother- son bonding time. Come on." She pulled him up and into the kitchen.
